A DAY OP PLEASURm.tom- 1s of the w .ouenalve' aWs of Cresero EntertsailnedSevein Husdred Ezeunraionlts
From Thibodau Houmanand other plee...
We had attended many churchfairs, some of them real big ones,but last Sunday was the first timethat we had the pleasure of beingpresent at one of Father LaForest'sfairs. The beloved pastor of theCarencro Catholic church is wellknown for his public spirit and seal,and to his indefatigable energy isdue much of the success of the fairand entertainment of last Sunday.It was through his well-directedefforts that an excursion train wasrun from Houma, bringing to Cat-encro six or seven hundred people,mostly from the towns of Thibo-daux, Houma and Chacahoula.We believe this is the first timethat Carencro had so many strangerswithin her gates, but judging fromthe way the hundreds of guests weretaken care of, one would think thatCareacro was an -'old hand" at re-ceiving and entertaining largecrowds of people.
At about 1s o'clock the train,consisting of six coaches, full ofpeople, arrived and stopped oppo-site the fair grounds. The tables,booths, flags and decorations wereplaced in a position to meet theview of the excursionists immedi-ately upon their arrival.
The excursionists lost no time ingetting off from the train and soonwended their way -toward the placewhere the preparations had beenmade for their reception. Just atthis time it began to rain, but thanksto the foresight of Father LaForesta sufficient number of tents hadbeen erected to afford shelter to all.Fortunately the rain did not con-tinue and in the latter part of theafternoon the weather was clearerand nothing else happened to marthe pleasure of the day.
Lovers of the national game hadample opportunity to indulge intheir favorite pastime as several in-teresting games of base ball wereplayed, the principal one being be-tween the boys from Carencrobridge and a nine from this town.In justice to the latter we must saythat they were out of practice, thisbeing their first game this season.Here is the score.

The next game was played by theLafayette boys against those ofChacahoula. By this time, ourboys were beginning to feel likeplaying ball and they "wiped theearth "with the Chacahoulians.
The concert was commenced at
3 o'clock and was a very creditableaffair from begining So end. Thechildren of the parochial schoolunder the efficient management ofMiss Madeleine Melchoir, did ad-mirably well. The calisthenic ex-ercises showed careful training, andtoo much praise can not be bestowedupon Miss Florina Grenier for thispleasing feature of the entertain-ment. "La Fete de Carencro," asong, was well rendered by MissMelchoir's pupils. It elicitedmerited applause and made a de-cided hit. Miss Sara Brown's sing-ing was so well received that shewas compelled to favor the audiencewith an encore.

The post-office was exceedinglyneat and showed much taste. Thelatest approved way in which thespecial delivery system was managedby the young ladies would put toshame Uncle Sam's -most expe-Sienced employes.
The dinner tables were well kept.A good, substantial meal was soldfor a reasonable price, and we don'tthink any one can reasonably com-plain of this part of the fair.
There was plenty. of music. TheScott, Landry and Thibodeauxbands discoursed sweet music duringthe whole day.
At about six o'clock the guestsmade their way toward the trainwhich was getting ready to leaveIf we may judge by the gay facesof the crowd, they were perfectlysatisfied with their visit to Carencro.
The Gazette congratulates FatherLaforest and the people on thesplendid reception they have ex-tended to their guests. We daresay that in the future there'will beno difficult in getting a crowd tovisit Carencro.
The proceeds of the fair, amount-ing to $75o net, will be added tothe church fund.

Sambo's Weakness for Water-Melons.
Quite an interesting fisticuff tookplace Tuesday evening near thepostoffice, with Joe Camara, thefruit dealer at the corner, and thenotorious young negro named Wil-liam, as principals, and Camara'swife and Joe Crapo, as accessoriesIt appears that Williams, who isalways doing some mischief, wasengaged in counter-marking thewater-melons which Camara keepsfor sale. This Camara objected toand landed his right fist againstWilliams' ribs. The two men grap-pled and a hot fight followed.Some witnesses testified that Cam-ara's wife and his brother in-law,Joe Crapo, came to his rescue,while others denied this statement.The next morning Camara, Crapoand WVilliatns -appeared before themayor, who discharged Crapo,fined Camtara $2.5o and cost, andgave the negro $10o.oo or 2o dayson the street.

An Answer to Little Hatchet.To The Lafayette Gazette:
Please allow me space in your valuablepaper to comment on what "Little Hatchet"said last week, not that I put myself up for a"right thinking man," for, doubtless,"Little Hatchet" meant by that, some onewho would pat him on the back. This Icannot do. In fact I.feel called upon, torub him the other way. Now -*LittleHatchet." will yon please tell us what youmean by some at your expressions. Whatdo you mean by 'appreciate the Sundaylaw?" If you mean that you want to seethe Sunday law enforced, when it does notinconvenience you, I think you are correct,but, If you mean that ymr and all yeor w iigh-
eors do want to see the law enforced to theletter you are wrong for there is scarcely aSunday that some of your neighbors do notcome to me to break the law for their con-venience and a large number of them havespoken in favor of the law being amendedso country stores can sell goods on Sunday.You do not think that "Mr. Mouton meantthat." Please tell me what you mean by"that." Is it that Mr. Mouton meant that"we are better than God" or that the lawshould be repealed.
I, "Dull Axe," am strongly in favor ofMr. Mouton's Sunday law bill, and also ofhis school and railroad bills, and, I "tellyou, PNet," he is the right man, .in theright place, without any "changing up" or"changig down," and as long as he keepsthe stand he has taken he is sure of thesupport of all men who are lovera of justiceand who do not want the Legisature gov-erned by egotism, fanatclm and despotism.
"If these parties who violate the law areproperly put befoie court," but that is inm-possible. If all who have violated the lawwere put there, who would be left ? Wouldyou, Mr. "Little Hatchet."
Because I am not in favor of the Sundaylaw you mast not think, I am not in ,favorof making Sunday a quiet day. I wantevery man to worship God according to thedictates of his own conscience, and I thinkit right for every man to respect the feelingsof his neighbor enough to forego makingany unnecessary noaise near a house of wor-ship when service is being held therewhether on Sunday oron mny other day. If Ican worship my God, selling oo buyingcattle of plowing cotton on Sunday, whosebusiness ilit ? Certainly not yours. Thatlooks to me to be between mysclf and myGod. I do not cosidiCt myself better thanGod, as you intinate: far from it. I havealways lo.,kcd upon man as the last andpmcrest of CoV' Ihandiwnork. an1:t g-•,lgin,from the 4th chapter of "(enesi , (;lodthoug'lt O ton. Vou are looking in the
